Snow
Thank you Ann for sending in this poem.
It bites,
Its raw,
It moves my floor,
It steals my feet
My life and more.
It makes me score
What hurt? What dirt?
How much? how deep?
Never,ever sleep
The same again.
Over all my world
It Dominates.
When whiteness lies
I’m cut to size
I’m curled in fear-
arm over ear,
Terrified by the Power,
Anyhow,anytime,
Every hour
but most in darkness.
Rocking now,
Holding brow,
When its over me
I’m small and tiny,
“Mini-me”
Can’t stop
The drop
to Hell.
Falling ,falling,
Not like rain
On my face-
splattered pane.
Whiteness,
Void, but
Nothing’s free,
There’s always price
to pay
for Whiteness-
Freedom’s gone
Away.
